Appoint Those Who Are Chosen Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 25, 2012

James cautioned believers against rushing to become teachers. God teaches that He will appoint whom He pleases. He does, however, give us the criteria for His appointment.

Love Those Who Are Lost

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 11, 2022

Romans chapter eight ends with the amazing claim that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. But before the apostle Paul moves on with what is considered the “practical application” portion of his letter, he first needs to address his concern for those outside of Christ.

Alba 3-6-2022 LOVE THOSE WHO ARE LOST Romans 9:1-5 Ray Stedman, who was a minister in California, once asked a congregation why they had dismissed their preacher. “Well”, they said, “he kept telling us we were all going to hell.” Steadman asked, “What does the new preacher say?” The congregation ...read more

No Condemnation To Those Who Are In Christ

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 30, 2022

The point here is that there is a debt that we owe because of our sin, and no matter how hard we try, we can't pay it. For us the amount is not zero. It is more than we can imagine. How can we escape condemnation? The answer is found in our text, Romans chapter eight.

Alba 1-30-2022 NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST Romans 8:1-11 In March 1992, a man living near Boston, Massachusetts received a bill for his unused credit card.

Those Who Are Forgiven Much

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 19, 2022

Church life can become awful conventional, safe and predictable. One day Jesus met a woman who blew all of that away.

Our text for this morning is a surprising story of the reaction that different people had when they met Jesus. It is Luke 7:36-50. I encourage you to open your Bible so you can see it for yourself. In the pew Bibles it is on page 66 of the New Testament section. And please stand for the ...read more

Those Who Must Be Silenced Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 14, 2021

In Titus 1:10–16, Paul first gives a general 1) description of false teachers in the church who are to be silenced (Titus 1:10–13a). He then specifies 2) What the reaction to those should be (Titus 1:13b–14) and 3) Evaluates their lives (Titus 1:15–16).

Titus 1:10–16. 10 For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. 11 They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 One of the Cretans, a prophet of ...read more

Blessed Are The Repentant Series

Contributed by John Hamby on Apr 18, 2011

What an amazing paradox! If it is not a paradox it is at least the opposite of what our culture tells us today. The paradox is that Jesus says that the man who mourns will be really happy. The world regards such a statement as utterly ridiculous. Who want
